Pick one of our themed, cross-curricular workshops and let us organise your day for you.

Geevor’s Learning Team have developed several day-long workshops based around the site with resources to help teachers and educational group leaders to make the most of their class visit. Each workshop is developed for specific Key Stages and linked to the relevant themes within the National Curriculum. With older students there is a chance to explore more of the site than younger students with littler legs!

All you have to do is pick a workshop and Geevor’s Learning Team will organise your activities for you, facilitating new and exciting ways for your students engage with the site. Most of the workshops include hand-drilling, panning, and a guided Underground Tour, but must be booked in advance to ensure all activities are available to you. Click on the workshops links below to find out more information about each one and to see their specific resources.

If you’re unsure which workshop would be suitable, or if you would like to adapt a workshop for your own requirements, then please contact Geevor’s Learning Team, at learning@geevor.com or give us a ring 01736  788662.
